The spark plug wires goy croosed , i need to know how to number the wires corrctly. 1997 chev p/u 1500 5.7 305

i am changing spark plug and spark plug wires , the wires got crossed , i need to know how th number the wires correctly. 1997 chev p/u 8 cyl. 1500 5.7l 305 engineThe spark plug wires goy croosed , i need to know how to number the wires corrctly. 1997 chev p/u 1500 5.7 305
1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2



1 cylinder is driver's side front....odd cylinders driver's side, even passengers.



If you lost 1 on the cap, you'll need to rotate the engine over until the 1 cylinder is at the top of the compression stroke (TDC) and the timing marks are lined up. Be SURE you are on the compression stroke and not the exhaust stroke. You can determine this by pulling the spark plug out and placing your finger over the hole. You will feel the compression building behind your finger as you bump the engine over. Don't worry - it won't hurt you (its not dangerous) and you'll probably need a helper if you have to do this part.



Once you have the 1 cylinder @ TDC on the compression stroke, pull the distributor cap and observer the rotor, wherever it is pointing on the cap, that's 1.The spark plug wires goy croosed , i need to know how to number the wires corrctly. 1997 chev p/u 1500 5.7 305
Dallas gave an excellent answer, but forgot one thing: the rotation direction on the distributor. It's usually clockwise.The spark plug wires goy croosed , i need to know how to number the wires corrctly. 1997 chev p/u 1500 5.7 305
on a 97 chevy the cap is numbered odds on drivers side evens on passenger front of engine back on drivers is 1357 pass. is 2468 on the cap the s are in a different order though ps a 5.7 is a 350 a 5.0 is a 305The spark plug wires goy croosed , i need to know how to number the wires corrctly. 1997 chev p/u 1500 5.7 305
Everyone has the right idea, all above is correct but go to the parts store and ask parts guy to let you look at a new cap the firing order is embossed on it..........I would suggest that when you correct the order you arrange the clip that holds the wires closest to the distributor cap in the order for easy reference next timeThe spark plug wires goy croosed , i need to know how to number the wires corrctly. 1997 chev p/u 1500 5.7 305
as you face the motor from front to back the left cyls are 2468 and the right cyls are 1357. on the distributor cap the left side are 8246 and the right side is 1735 frount to back. a 305ci motor is 5.0 liters and a 5.7 liter is 350 motor but they are both the same spark plug wire routing.The spark plug wires goy croosed , i need to know how to number the wires corrctly. 1997 chev p/u 1500 5.7 305
easyist way is to take off one plug wire and then match it to the new plug wire and then install. then do the same for the rest. no need to take them all off at once. you are jsut asking for touble if you dont know what you doing. how I did it with all my vehicles untill my dakota which has coil over plugs. so I dont have to worry about plug wires anymore.The spark plug wires goy croosed , i need to know how to number the wires corrctly. 1997 chev p/u 1500 5.7 305
ok look on you intake,you find the fireing order
